%% Fraction of the high watermark limit at which queues start to
%% page message out to disc in order to free up memory.
+ %% For example, when vm_memory_high_watermark is set to 0.4 and this value is set to 0.5,
+ %% paging can begin as early as when 20% of total available RAM is used by the node.

- %% Values greater than 0.9 can be dangerous and should be used carefully.
+ %% Values greater than 1.0 can be dangerous and should be used carefully.
+ %%
+ %% One alternative to this is to use durable queues and publish messages
+ %% as persistent (delivery mode = 2). With this combination queues will
+ %% move messages to disk much more rapidly.
+ %%
+ %% Another alternative is to configure queues to page all messages (both
+ %% persistent and transient) to disk as quickly
+ %% as possible, see http://www.rabbitmq.com/lazy-queues.html.
